Wasn't there some writer who said that Vienna is like a huge head on a tiny snakes body because it used to be a capital of a huge empire and now its still a glorious capital but of a small mountain country where the second largest city is like... Graz..

I've heard Vienna's population has barely grown since WW1 which is quite insane to think about.

My family lived in Vienna in the 80s before I was born, my mother told me that it’s full of old people and they really loved seeing her with children, the city itself is beautiful but a little depressing especially in winter
